Cairo , Egypt -LRB- CNN -RRB- -- Violence flared in central Cairo on Monday as protesters threw Molotov cocktails at police , who responded in kind .

The protesters are angry at the government and the Muslim Brotherhood , a popular Islamist movement . They rallied near Tahrir Square , near the parliament building , just a block from the Interior Ministry .

A building in the area briefly caught on fire and was quickly extinguished . No immediate injuries were reported .

`` The violence of the police is the same as the violence under Mubarak , '' said Tarek Famy , a protester . `` The Brotherhood is exactly the same as the former regime . They 're still as violent . ''

Longtime Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was toppled last year . The country is now headed by Mohamed Morsy , the country 's first democratically elected president . Before taking office , Morsy was a leader in the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood .

The protests came on the one-year anniversary of deadly clashes on Mohamed Mahmoud Street , which leads from Tahrir Square toward the Interior Ministry .

Violence there last year left dozens of people dead . No one has been held responsible for those deaths , though several security officers remain on trial .
